Video spoilers history, starting with the blitzkrieg on Poland

[The besieged German army threw away almost all of its heavy weapons and equipment, burned secret documents, and everyone, including the headquarters personnel, became a battle group.]

【2000 seriously injured were abandoned.】

【With the famous Viking Division as the vanguard. 】

[Under the cover of only tanks, tens of thousands of German troops broke through under the cover of darkness.]

[And Admiral Sturmmann personally covered the rear.]

[According to the recollections of a German SS soldier: At 10 o'clock in the evening, Soviet artillery began to bombard the center of the village. The flames made the night as bright as day. They accurately hit the retreating troops. In order to survive, we desperately burrowed into the snow.]

[Many of the German infantry columns that were evacuating were easily destroyed by the Soviets.]

[The German infantry, which had almost lost its ability to resist, was first attacked by artillery fire, and then repeatedly attacked by Soviet tanks and cavalry.]

[Even a female collective member who was not a professional military personnel easily killed the densely packed German breakout troops with a light machine gun.]

[The German army had good luck the next day, as the stormy weather was not conducive to the Soviet attack.]

[The Viking Division also exerted its combat effectiveness and forcibly tore open a hole in the defense line. Then the German army joined forces and broke through three defense lines in succession.]

【But the Soviet high ground fortress made it difficult for the German army to pass through. 】

[The 4 German soldiers could only make a detour and charge up to the key Hill 239.]

[Trying to cross the river under cover of fire from the high ground.]

[It was February 1944, and the river was 2 meters wide after the ice and snow melted, and there was no bridge on it.]

【The German army retreated to the river but found it difficult to cross. 】

[At this time, the Soviet tanks were also approaching quickly, and the German retreat became chaotic and turned into an unorganized escape.]

[The soldiers jumped into the freezing river in the middle of winter, and many of them drowned.]

[General Stemmermann was killed in the battle and a large number of German troops were captured.]

[In the end, only half of the German troops managed to escape to the other side of the river.]

[In this battle, the Soviet army captured 18000 German officers and soldiers. ]

[This was because of a mistake in Soviet intelligence, which led to the mistaken belief that the number of German troops who broke through was only 2, while in fact there were 4 German troops who broke through, resulting in a serious shortage of Soviet blocking forces.]

[Otherwise, I'm afraid that the 4 German troops would be wiped out. ]

A large number of German troops retreating in panic appeared on the sky screen.

The German troops in these pictures are dejected and their morale is low.

There were discarded German equipment everywhere.
And destroyed German tanks and armored vehicles.

During the battle to break out, they showed a certain fighting spirit.

But in the final escape stage.

The Germans were in complete disarray along the river.

The German soldiers lay in the snow in the icy wilderness, looking back in panic, throwing away their weapons and struggling for survival in the river.

Many German soldiers did not dare to cross the river and raised their hands in despair and surrendered on a large scale.

……

Han Dynasty.

Huo Qubing saw that the once invincible German army could easily annihilate hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops.

Even in an unfavorable situation, he could easily defeat two or three at a time, or even 10 German soldiers of the Third Reich by defeating 50.

At this time, the whole line was defeated and the army was in disarray.

Finally, I no longer have any illusions.

Huo Qubing realized that in the unprecedented Second World War, the German army was powerless to turn the tide.

Huo Qubing said with deep emotion:

"The time to look at the sky curtain was in the second half of 1943 and the beginning of 1944."

“The Soviet-German war broke out in the summer of 1941.”

"In just two and a half years, the once invincible country has crushed all its national enemies."

"It took 30 days to destroy Poland's army of one million, and 40 days to destroy France's army of three million. The British dared not even cross the sea with a bathtub."

"A wave of 550 million people in Operation Barbarossa directly wiped out the invincible German army of 600 million Soviet troops in half a year."

“It has fallen to this level!”

“It’s just unbelievable.”

“But it is true.”

Huo Qubing said regretfully: "The invincible German army has fallen."

As a general who greatly admired Germany's amazing fighting power during World War II,
Huo Qubing seemed a little depressed at this time.

Although Huo Qubing still believed.

The German army's combat effectiveness is still far superior to that of the Soviet army.

However, high combat effectiveness does not mean victory in the war.

Like the Battle of the Dnieper just introduced on the screen.

The Soviet army has more than twice the number of troops as the German army!
If the total force is doubled, then the force in the local attack area may even be triple or quintuple.

Then it will be difficult to fight the German army.

In addition, after several years of war training, the once weak Soviet army has now grown a lot.

It won't be like the first one or two years after the war.

The German army was crazy about brushing up the record.

Although Wei Qing had little appreciation for the German army.

But he also agreed with what Huo Qubing said.

The combat effectiveness of the German army during World War II was indeed one level higher than that of its opponents, and even more than one level higher. And Wei Qing's view was also very clear.

"The fighting capacity of the German soldiers is sufficient."

"Look at the Cherkassy Steel Siege Battle on the sky screen. The German army has been defeated like this."

"But the Germans still organized a breakout in which half of the people escaped."

"Although it was a disastrous defeat, at least we avoided total annihilation."

"Under such desperate disadvantages, the fact that nearly 2 people were able to escape is a testament to the German army's combat effectiveness."

"If it were the Soviet army facing such a situation, let alone escaping the encirclement, the supporting troops inside and outside the encirclement would be eaten by the German army!"

"Another devastating defeat involving hundreds of thousands of people!"

"And the German army was surrounded by 6 people, but were able to escape."

"This shows that at this time, the German army still had a clear advantage in combat effectiveness."

"But what's the use?"

Wei Qing walked to the world map hanging on the wall.

This world map is constantly improved and updated by many professionals from the Han Dynasty based on the contents of the sky dome.

"Looking at the map, we can see that in terms of the overall diplomatic strategy, the German army is isolated and helpless, fighting on three fronts."

"Although the German army also controlled some vassal states and relatively pro-German countries."

"But compared to its enemies, the overall strength of the German army is clearly inferior."

“And strategically we are surrounded.”

"The German army's advantage is the concentration of its forces. It can take advantage of internal operations and concentrate superior forces in a short period of time to deal with one direction."

"But it's clear that the Germans were not able to do that."

"And only look at the Eastern Front."

“When the Germans attacked, their momentum was fierce, but they made the mistake of wanting more.”

"When defending, they are also obviously at a great disadvantage, but they insist on defending some very difficult places."

"Put troops in places where they can be abandoned."

"As a result, I lost my bets again and again."

Obviously, Wei Qing also gave a very low evaluation of the German strategy.

And beside the two of them.

While listening to their analysis, I looked at Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, on the sky curtain.

He did not make any further comments.

Just sighed.

Liu Che just said silently: "Although the German army should indeed decisively abandon many positions and shrink the front line."

"But from the perspective of a country's ruler."

“It’s really hard to give up so much land.”

……

Canopy.

[This successful annihilation war was only the beginning of the Soviet Union's recovery of the Ukrainian region.]

[The German armored divisions had almost stopped resisting at this time. They abandoned a large amount of equipment and retreated, completely losing the ability to effectively counterattack.]

[Soviet troops moved unhindered.]

[The First Ukrainian Front advanced rapidly westwards, liberating several towns in succession.]

[In this rapid assault, Soviet tank units did not participate in the attack. Instead, the old-fashioned cavalry units, which had retained their energy from World War II, participated in the battle on a large scale.]

[The Soviet tank forces' attack direction is the south.]

[They were preparing to attack the First Panzer Army commanded by German General Hube from the rear, and formed a siege on Hube in March.]

【30 German troops were surrounded.】

[And this battle of the Hube Pocket will also be the farewell battle of Manstein, the top general in World War II. ]

The sky screen video ended here, and netizens began to comment.

"Cherkasy! The way home."

"In fact, the German army did not completely collapse in this breakout battle, and they maintained order most of the time when crossing the river."

"The German army's grassroots officers spontaneously organized the crossing of the river and stayed behind to ensure the order of the crossing."

"The Viking Division had 12000 men, 4000 of whom were killed."

"The Walloon Volunteer Panzergrenadier Division had 2000 men, 1500 of them died."

"In fact, in this battle as a whole, the Soviet army even suffered more casualties, and the German veterans were still able to fight."

"The German army is strong. They can still fight like this 44 years later."

《It’s almost time. The countdown to the final defeat has begun.》

"What a pity for General Stemmermann."

"It's not a pity. Dying on the battlefield is a reasonable fate for a veteran. "

"It's all thanks to the Fuhrer. If he had listened to Manstein's retreat plan, we wouldn't have suffered such a disastrous defeat."

"Haha, there is nothing wrong with Hitler's strategic idea of ​​fortress defense. The situation was already hopeless at that time. If we don't hold on, we will die faster!"

"Don't brag about Mann, the facts prove that he is only qualified to command 20 people!"

"Defending Ukraine is a bottomless pit. Resources invested will not yield any return."

"Not defending Ukraine? The Soviet Union will be in big trouble!" (End of this chapter)
